Chapter 1: Damn you Nina

Tony made his way back to the bullpen of CTU. He went straight to his station without a word. He was aware of everybody's eyes on him but he didn't care. He just received the biggest shock of his life. He couldn't believe that Nina – the sweet beautiful girl whom he was ready to do anything for - is a mole and a murderer. He wanted to yell, to cry, and to scream but he couldn't. He felt he was chocking. He stared at the computer screen but he didn't actually see it. His mind was miles away.

A hand over his shoulder brought him back to reality. He turned to find Milo who gave him a sympathy look then asked: "Are you ok?", Tony didn't answer; his eyes expressed it all and Milo understood.

To Milo, Nina was just a co-worker but he was shocked and angry. He couldn't even imagine how Tony felt so he squeezed Tony's shoulder as if to say he was there for him and left him to his thoughts.

Mason was on the phone with Ryan Chappelle. He wanted to yell at him. He was shocked just like everybody else but Ryan expected him to have answers. Ryan wanted Tony to be in charge of the investigation. Mason looked at the bullpen: "I can't, He looks so lost. He wouldn't be able to do it. Come on Ryan, cut him some slack. The guy just discovered his girlfriend is a mole"

After the conversation had ended, Mason went to speak with Tony. He sat next to him but Tony didn't seem to have noticed, Mason shook his shoulder gently, As Tony looked up, Mason froze. He had known Tony for a long time, the first thing he noticed when they met was his eyes; smart and honest as they were, they always had a sparkle of happiness, Mason always wondered how Tony managed to do his job with so much dedication and organize his personal life to keep himself happy. Now, Tony's eyes looked so dull and full of pain.

Mason pulled himself away from his thoughts: "Listen Tony, um, why don't you go home?", Tony looked him in the eye and practically whispered: "what possible difference could that make?".

The question took Mason by surprise as Tony continued: "I know what you are trying to do George and I thank you for it but that won't help. I'll go home to be with my thoughts, to stare at the unmade bed we shared this morning, to find her clothes in my closet, to smell her scent all over my apartment. Trust me, I am better off here"

Mason was speechless for a second then he had an idea: "listen, why don't you go to see Kim? Jack left to find Teri a while ago and I don't think she should be alone for a long time. keep her company till her parents come back.", Tony nodded quietly and left.

Mason sighed heavily. Even in his darkest moments, Tony was honest and straight. As Mason looked around, He saw the effects of the day's events on everybody. He muttered under his breathe: "Damn you Nina, what have you done to this place?"

Michelle joined the rest of her co- workers in the conference room at Division. Nobody knew why they were called. Everything was fine; Senator Palmer survived the day and the assassins were dead but now they all knew something was wrong.

Michelle sighed as she dropped into a chair. She was so exhausted; she had been working for more than 24 hours, she had barely eaten and desperately wanted to sleep. She closed her eyes for a minute then re-opened them when she heard Tedd's voice.

Tedd Conrad was one of the few friends she had in this place; he smiled and sat next to her, she immediately asked: "Do you have any idea about what's going on?", he shook his head: "I heard rumors, I don't know exactly what's wrong but I know one thing; whatever happened is related to CTU".

Michelle nodded as she eyed Chappelle who just entered the room, he looked surprised, he stood there for a while then he started: "I am sure all of you are aware of today's events so I'll just get to the point. I received a call from CTU, they discovered another mole", he stopped for a second to let his words sink in then continued: "Jack Bauer discovered that Nina Myers – his second in command – is working with the Drazens"

Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, trying to get to grips with what he had said then Michelle said: "I am sorry, I am not following, we have been told to dedicate all of our resources to help CTU, to transfer any wanted data without questions and Nina Myers was the one who contacted us, I spoke with her personally for crying out loud and now you are telling us that the same exact person is a mole, that ….. That doesn't make any sense, she helped to stop the assassination, there must be a mistake".

Chappelle sighed: "I know, I couldn't believe it either but CTU sent a tape in which she was killing Jamey Farrell, plus she lied to Bauer so we are sure, I know that's a shock to all of you but you didn't even know her, imagine how the people who worked with her – including me – feel, right now we need to find out how bad the information leak is so agents Green and Turner will choose those who worked less hours to help".At that point,he turned and left them in silence and disbelief.

As soon as Chappelle had left,Michelle started collecting her things then she felt someone standing behind her.she turned to find Carrie who asked:" what are you doing?"

" Getting ready to leave" Michelle replied simply

" Leave,you aren't leaving , you are part of the team that will check CTU systems"

" what? you can't be serious,Mr.Chappelle said those who worked less hours.I have been here sinse..."

" I DO NOT CARE, you are part of the team and that's it. If you don't like it, resign"

Carrie left immediately after that leaving Michelle trying to control her anger and not to strangle her on the spot.Suddenly, she stopped thinking about Carrie and firmly ordered herself:" Get a grip Dessler, that's your job and you accepted to do it. CTU is a mess rightnow and you are whinning about wanting to go home, start your work now"

These thoughts encouraged her and helped her to calm her nerves so she sat down and started her work.
